The Newspaper Works joined the PANPA-winning photographer on the road for a day and has assembled an audio-visual presentation of her work.
Her first job was at Bulli Beach, near Wollongong, south of Sydney, to photograph Sharn McNeill, a local registered nurse. Ms McNeil is in training for an ironman event, despite being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Her friend and teammate, Craig Gruber, towed her in a kayak as Sylvia swam alongside them, camera in hand.
"It was a bit of a workout – but I enjoyed it," she said.
Ms Liber has built her 22-year career on finding powerful images in everything from daily surf checks to the extremes of the human condition. It is capturing these moments, and connecting with her subjects, that inspire her every day.
"I think the key to a good photo . . . is being able to talk to someone, making them trust you, so that they can open up to you," she says.

AUST – HENDRY building surveyors advise that the Building Code of Australia in Part F1 'Damp and Weatherproofing' contains clause F1.1 Stormwater drainage. The following explanation and illustration will enlighten the requirements for various situations.
Building Code of Australia: Clause F1.1 – Issue
What are the principles related to drainage systems for buildings? Can different requirements can apply depending on the nature of the building element being considered?
Building Code of Australia: Clause F1.1 – Explanation
AS 3500.3.2 provides design requirements for drainage systems. The code does not cover the effects of hail or the lack of regular maintenance. Trafficable roof areas, box gutters and terraces etc require drainage systems that can accommodate a 1:100 year return period for the region in which the building resides. Overflows of equal capacity must also be provided. Eaves gutters need only be designed for a 1:20 year return period provided when they overflow, water cannot enter a building. FP1.2 requires surface water to not enter a building for a return period of 100 years therefore carparks, etc. must be also drained for a 1:100 period. Stormwater must be directed to an appropriate outfall which is usually approved by the local authority. All components of the drainage system from capture areas to outfall must be correctly designed.
The following illustration from BCA Illustrated depicts typical drainage requirements.

|[Configuration] getList returns an empty list if the underlying configuration file is touched
|Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:54:08 GMT
Hi, I'm running into a problem in which the getList operation returns an empty List if and when the underlying configuration file is updated (I am leveraging the FileChangedReloadingStrategy). I am using Commons Configuration 1.4 with the DefaultConfigurationBuilder in conjunction with the XPathExpressionEngine. Please note, other operations, getString for example, work fine. Here's an excerpt from my configuration.xml file ... <xml fileName="retroplan-config.xml" config-name="retroplan" config-optional="true" throwExceptionOnMissing="false"> <reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="1000" config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedRelo adingStrategy"/> </xml> So, with that said, are there known issues with the 1.4 implementation of the FileChangedReloadingStrategy and/or the getList operation that would explain this behavior? Thanks, Tom

So... it's January 2nd and the excitement of the new year is all but worn off. Now that the holidays are officially over, it's all too easy to settle into our old routines and forget about the grand resolutions we said we were going to accomplish this year. Did you set New Year's resolutions for yourself this year? If you did and really want to keep them this year, read on for tips to help you keep your eyes on the prize.
- Set a realistic goal. If one of your goals this year is to start something that has not already been a part of your regularly scheduled program, you are more likely to stick with it and form a habit out if it if you set realistic goals for yourself. Don't trick yourself into thinking that you will go to the gym 7 days a week and work out for an hour, if your butt is glued to your couch now. You'd be setting yourself up for failure. Instead, commit to 2-3 times per week. You can always increase frequency and/or intensity of your goal, but don't set the bar too high in the beginning. You will only be that much more disappointed and likely to quit when you don't reach the unreachable limit that you set for yourself.
- Break it into pieces. Most people don't achieve their goals because they don't attach an expiration date to them. You have an entire year to lose 20 pounds and run a 5k! But re-write your goals to lose 20lbs by March and run a 5k by August. These are more digestible, realistic, and create a sense of urgency.
- Don't expect instant gratification. Most of us set goals to ignite a lifestyle change. With making any change that will last, it takes time for the results to set in. Stay consistent in your effort and you will see lasting results soon enough.
- Remind yourself why. When you first set your goals for 2014, ask yourself why you are setting these specific goals. What is it that you are after? What end result would you like to see? When times get a little sticky and you lose the motivation to keep going, reminding yourself why you started could help you get back on the good foot.
What goals with you be accomplishing this year? Share to help your friends achieve their resolutions too!

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Friday called on his opposition counterparts to work with him to help claw the country out of a deep economic crisis. But even as he called for unity, Maduro invoked emergency decree powers in a move that his critics called backhanded.
Maduro made the pitch during his annual speech before a National Assembly that is in opposition hands for the first time in 17 years.
Just hours before the address, the Central Bank released economic information for the first time in more than a year. That information confirmed what everyone knew: The economy is in shambles.
The bank said the economy contracted 7.1 percent for the year ending September 2015 — a historical low for the country. In addition, annual inflation reached 141.5 percent for the same period.
The bank said collapsing oil prices, in a nation addicted to crude exports, were pummeling the economy. But it also blamed "next generation economic warfare" for the problems, saying websites and foreign interests were driving speculation and hoarding.
The bank had not released economic figures since late 2014, despite the constitutional obligation to do so.
In his almost three-hour speech before congress, Maduro stayed on familiar ground, blaming the deep economic crisis on private-sector sabotage and international plots aimed at dismantling 17 years of socialist reforms.
While he acknowledged the role of collapsing oil prices in the crisis, he also said "economic warfare" and a private sector "unwilling to cooperate" with the administration were exacerbating the problems.
The only concrete proposal he suggested for helping turn the economy around was raising the country's cheaper-than-water gasoline prices. Maduro said he had been reluctant to raise the rates before because opposition forces were ready to "set the country on fire," but he said the time had come for the changes.
In a rebuttal, National Assembly President Henry Ramos said he and his colleagues were willing to work with the administration if it was truly willing to change.
The socialist "model is wrong. It's flawed and there are the figures that prove it," Ramos said, referring to the grim economic data. "If there was truly a will to change course, then obviously we would be interested. … How can we want lines, inflation, and insecurity?"
Also during the session, Maduro presented congress with a decree giving him "emergency economic powers" for 60 days. The decree had been approved in the waning days of the outgoing congress but was only published in the official register Friday. Congress is expected to debate the decree next week.
One of the more heated moments came in reference to opposition plans to push an "amnesty and reconciliation" law that would allow for the release of more than 70 people it considers political prisoners.
Maduro reiterated claims that those prisoners contributed to the deaths of 43 people during national protests in 2014. Instead of the amnesty law, Maduro proposed creating a commission of "justice, truth, and peace" to investigate the issues. But he said he would not allow "victimizers to pardon themselves." That would be "stabbing a knife into the heart of the country," he added.
Ramos said he welcomed a true accounting of the protests because he said it would prove that many died because of government repression. But he said his bloc would not back down from the amnesty law.
"We cannot move forward here without liberating political prisoners," he told the president.
Maduro, who narrowly won election in 2013, warned his opponents not to try to use the current economic crisis to undermine his administration.
"This is not Maduro's storm. … It's a situation that affects the entire country and all of Venezuela's families," he said. "It will require all of our effort and require us to put the nation first."

It's also a testament to exactly how good this CD is. Pre-Wall Pink Floyd has been mentioned as a possible influence, as has Pet Sounds, and pretty much anything by Stereolab and Yo La Tengo. The melodies are delicate and ethereal, but often drony--thanks to a keyboard sound that tends to remain understated and in the background. The guitars are clean, and thanks to a little lap steel work here and there, slightly twangy. There are at least two main vocalists (both male) who often sing together in a dreamy monotone. Their vocal talents are especially evident on "Hawaii in Ten Seconds," a short (1:30) a cappella barbershop quartet tune that creepily floats in like a weird accidental transmission from outer space.
Now none of this is really unusual in local pop. Several groups around here are perfecting a cleaner, more melodic sound, and a few are making good use of drone. But no one, really, is mixing these elements with such consistent success as The Kingsbury Manx. That's probably because, if what little we know about them is true, they've been at this for years, since a young age, and they've had ample time to think about and perfect their sound. Whether you care about who they are or not, the fact is, this album is stunning from start to finish, and there's no mystery behind that.

Miss Fearsome Pirate. Requested by Yes I Am Asian.
It's raining again.
The gloomy sight is upsetting for Tetra, and she slams the porthole in her cabin shut. This marks the third day of the storm, as well as the third day she and her crew has been stuck on land due to the poor weather. When the young captain first saw the black clouds rolling above them in the sky last week, she ordered Gonzo to redirect their ship's course to Windfall Island to wait for the storm to let up. She wasn't expecting it would last this long, however, and her patience is starting to wear thin.
Tetra sighs. It can't be helped. It would be foolish and dangerous to head back out to sea now.
Decidedly exhausted after sitting around in her cabin with literally nothing to do, she dresses herself in her usual attire, wraps a cloth scarf loosely around her head as a makeshift hood, and goes above deck. A few of her crew members are lolling around in the light rainfall, but they all straighten up once she arrives. She waves her hand dismissively, letting them know they can relax.
"I'm going out," she tells them.
"Uh... Do you need us to do anything, Miss?" Nudge asks tentatively.
"No," Tetra replies plainly, shaking her head. "You're free to do whatever you please. Just no stealing anything from the marketplace. People are already suspicious that we're here."
She pulls her hood further over her head to better conceal her face. The reason she's wearing it is so no one will recognize her. The people of Windfall know who she is, and they know she's a pirate. She and her crew have a history of raiding the place when they're low on the supplies or simply when they want something (the bombs, for instance). They haven't done it in years, not since they "went straight" ... finding out she is the descendant of Princess Zelda and traveling with the Hero of Winds has had that sort of purifying effect, but the Windfall people are still very wary and unforgiving. She doesn't blame them; she still occasionally snatches up a thing or two whenever she visits the marketplace. Link doesn't know that, and she doubts she'll ever tell him.
Speaking of whom...
"Where is Link?" she asks before she unboards. Mako shrugs as he approaches her.
"He went out to the market, I believe," he explains. Tetra lowers her head slightly. The rain is growing heavier and colder. The uncovered part of her face is a clammy, paled tan and her tendrils of blonde hair are curling in reaction to the water.
"Figures," she mutters as she leaves.
Despite the weather, there are still quite a few people meandering the Windfall market, which Tetra doesn't find surprising at all. Rain, wind, or snow, if there are customers to be had and money to be made, than the merchants will be out trying to sell whatever cheap products they have on the table for that day.
"Miss! Miss!" heckles a particularly slimy-looking merchant from afar. "Come here, come buy my orchard fruits! Apples and quinces, lemons and oranges, plump unpecked cherries-"
"-No, thank you," Tetra refuses politely as she walks on by.
"But, Miss!" he persists. "I have melons and raspberries, bloom-down-cheeked peaches, swart-headed mulberries-"
"-I said no," Tetra snaps. The merchant reels back at the severity of her tone and backs off and Tetra continues on her way.
After some further exploring, the young pirate finally comes across a stand she's interested in. She approaches cautiously to get a better look at the wares, and the merchant, who appears just as shady as the last, sidles on up close to her. Tetra subconsciously moves her hand to her waist, feeling the hidden dagger kept at her side, just in case.
"So you're interested in my jewelry, eh Miss?" he begins, his voice smooth and sugar-coated. "It's all imported from Dragon Roost Island. Perhaps this would suit you..." He picks up a necklace with red, black, and brown wooden beads strung together.
"I'd actually just like to browse," Tetra interjects, lightly pushing him away from her. He grits his teeth, but covers it up with a charming smile and bows.
"Of course," he says, leaving her to herself. He watches her warily from afar, however, in case she tries to make off with something. Tetra rolls her eyes; she's not going to steal anything, not today. Especially after she told her crew to do the same. Tetra knows she is a lot of things, but she isn't a hypocrite.
She runs her hand along the dampened cloth of the table, her eyes giving each necklace or bracelet or set of earrings a once-over. She doesn't know why she buys (or steals) jewelry; she doesn't wear any, ever. She keeps it all in her room, in a small box on top her dresser. She thinks it's because she fears her shipmates will think less of her if she, Din-forbid, looks feminine. It all has to do with the perception that being female is the equivalent of being weak. Even though she proved that notion wrong long ago—she's fierce and strong and smart, and she knows it—she still has to keep up her tough front to maintain the respect she deserves. After all, there aren't very many female captains, much less pirates.
Just because she's tough doesn't mean she doesn't like beautiful things, though, even if she can't enjoy them the way she wishes she could. She picks up a wooden bracelet that has the Rito symbol carved into it, and scoffs when she realizes it's wet. What an idiot, she thinks, referring to the merchant. Doesn't he know that wood cracks after it dries?
"Miss?" The voice is small, but clear and pleading. Tetra casts a cursory glance down and sees a little girl, perhaps only 4- or 5-years-old, with fair white skin, ghostly blue eyes, and silvery blonde hair. The pirate's head snaps up and she inhales sharply.
"Miss?" the girl repeats, tugging at the seam of Tetra's pants.
Don't look at her, Tetra reminds herself, and maybe she'll go away. She hates children, and she loves them. They're a representation of the good that's left in the world, but they tend to be stupidly manipulated by adults into doing their bidding. Such as selling silly trinkets and pointless stuff, using their innocence and big round eyes as a bargaining tool. At least, that's how it works on Windfall.
"Miss?" The girl's voice is teary around the edges now, and Tetra can't ignore her any longer. She turns to face the child, glowering.
"What is it?" she asks with an edge in her voice. "What are you selling? I don't have a lot of money." She doesn't mean for it to come out that way, but it does. The girl seems unfazed by Tetra's harsh demeanor, however.
"I don't have anything to sell," the child explains, shaking her head. "I can't find my momma." Tetra mentally stumbles. She wasn't expecting that.
"Well, I suppose we should go find her then," Tetra concedes. "What's your name?"
"Avery," the girl answers. Her expression has visibly brightened now that Tetra has agreed to help her, and it breaks down the pirate's defenses.
"OK, where was the last time you saw her, Avery?" Tetra asks in a far more amiable voice than before.
"I don't remember," Avery confesses. "We went to get food today and then she disappeared."
"Food," Tetra muses aloud. "All right, follow me." Avery trots cheerfully alongside Tetra after she pivots on her heel and heads back to the place from whence she came. Tetra isn't exactly sure why she decided to help the little girl, although she supposes she doesn't have anything better to do; besides, even she isn't heartless enough to let a child wander around a market like this alone. That's just plain negligent.
Tetra and Avery soon come upon the fruit stand Tetra had passed by earlier. Tetra grimaces upon seeing the merchant again; she doesn't really want to talk to him, but she supposes she has no choice.
"Stay close," Tetra orders the child. Avery nods and clings to Tetra's pant-leg as they approach the stand.
"Oh? I see you've changed your mind. Excellent, excellent," the merchant says, grinning wickedly upon seeing the pirate. "I've got wild free-born cranberries, crab-apples, dewberries, pine-apples, blackberries, apricots, strawberries—all ripe and perfect for this summer monsoon weather."
"I'm not interested in your fruit," Tetra says coldly. "This little girl here is lost. I was wondering if you knew anything." The merchant stops short and leans over the table to get a closer look at the child. His ugly face contorts in thought as he adjusts his glasses, and Avery shuffles behind Tetra a little, intimidated.
"I might know something," he replies finally, "for a price." Tetra rolls her eyes, disgusted. Of course, she thinks, everything is for a price.
Tetra digs around in her pocket a pulls out a blue rupee, slamming it on the table.
"This is all I've got," she lies, knowing the merchant would try to milk her for more if she didn't. "What have you seen?" The merchant snatches the rupee up, admiring it for a long moment before dropping it into his money pot.
"There was a pretty lady with brown hair who wandered by here earlier," he begins casually. "Said she had lost her daughter. She looked like she was headed toward the bar." Avery smiles and looks up at Tetra.
"My momma has brown hair," she comments cheerfully. Tetra then nods curtly to the merchant, but says nothing further. Her arm reaches out and she pushes Avery along back to the main path.
"Why didn't you tell the man, 'thank you?'" Avery asks as they continue making their way up the main road. "Momma says it's polite to tell people 'thank you' when they do something good for you."
"Because you don't say 'thank you' to greedy goblin men," Tetra replies cynically.
"Momma says it's not nice to call people goblins," Avery admonishes. "I got in trouble one time when I called my big brother a Bokoblin." They stopped in front of the wooden stairs leading up to the front door of the bar. "Momma also says alcohol is bad for you and you shouldn't drink it."
"No, you shouldn't," Tetra agrees, "but people do it anyway." They climb up the stairs together and Tetra pushes open the door.
The rainy weather has drawn in a lot more customers than usual. Even though it's morning, the loud, drunken voices of men fill the room to the top. Tetra readjusts her hood, figuring she'll just ask the bartender if she has seen or heard anything. As she weaves in an out of the crowd with Avery in tow, she sees a flash of green that she recognizes very well.
"Link?" she inquires, only loud enough so he can hear her (and considering how the bar is in an uproar, she says the name fairly loud). He turns.
"Tetra!" he exclaims, grinning.
"Shh!" She glares at him. "People don't trust me like they trust you, and I don't want one of these big burly sailors to recognize me and come at me in a drunken stupor."
"Sorry..." Link apologizes, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
Tetra's silent for a moment before she remarks, "I thought you didn't drink." Link shrugs.
"I don't," he says. "I come here for the company." Tetra cocks her eyebrow at him.
"Some company," she grumbles, her eyes scanning the crowd of happily hammered men, singing and spewing out profanities. She almost considers covering Avery's ears to block out the unsavory discussions.
Link ignores her quip and asks, "So, why are you here?" It's then that Avery pokes her head out from behind Tetra.
"Well, hello there!" Link greets, friendly. He bends down to her level to talk to her face-to-face.
"Hi," Avery replies. "I'm Avery. Are you her boyfriend?" She points to Tetra as she says this.
"He wishes," Tetra scoffs. Link casts her a peeved glance, but quickly returns his attention to the little girl.
"No, Avery," he answers with a lopsided smile, "I'd be a miserable man if I was." Tetra is tempted to smack him upside the head, but reminds herself that there's a child here who will chastise her for anything 'Momma' says is bad or impolite. Violence probably falls under one of those two categories.
"We're looking for her mother," Tetra says, trying to push the conversation along. "That rotten fruit merchant down the way said he saw a woman who was looking for a child was headed here. Have you seen someone? She has brown hair..."
"Hey, I thought his fruit was perfectly fresh," Link protests indignantly.
"You know what I meant," Tetra snarls. "Now answer my question." Link rises to his feet once again.
"Geez, just having a bit of fun," he mutters. "No, I haven't seen anyone matching that description. If you haven't noticed, not a lot of women come in here."
"Yeah," Tetra mumbles, "I've noticed." A pause. "Well, I suppose we'll be on our way then. Come on, Avery..." She turns and is about to pull Avery along with her when Link stops.
"Hold up," he says, cutting in front of Tetra and the child, "maybe I can help."
"Somehow I doubt that," Tetra replies dryly.
"No, seriously. You'll get nowhere if you just wander around the Island looking for someone. It's too big," Link insists. "You need to go higher so you can get a view of the whole place."
Tetra hesitates, but nevertheless says, "All right, I'm listening."
Link grins and adds, "OK, just follow me."
He leads them back out into the rain; the path has grown muddy and difficult to walk on, especially for a child as little as Avery, so Link sweeps her up and carries her on her shoulders. He doesn't mind the fact that his outfit is now dirty from the mud on her shoes, and they laugh together as he zooms ahead, pretending to be a horse.
Tetra can't resist a smile; he's naturally good with children. It's probably why he gets along so well with her bone-headed crew. She picks up her pace so she can catch up with him
"So where are we headed?" Tetra asks once she's by his side.
"It's like I said; we need to go higher." He stops in front of the local Windfall Game Shop. "So we're headed to highest point in town!"
"... The Game Shop?" Tetra's voice has turned sarcastic once again.
"It's what's on top of the Game Shop," Link clarifies, pointing upward while still keep a firm hold on Avery. Tetra's tilts her head up to see what he's looking at.
"The lighthouse?" she inquires.
"Yup." He adjusts his grip on the Avery's legs and enters the building. Tetra sighs, but follows anyway.
"Hey, Salvatore!" Link greets the shop owner with a crooked grin. "It's been a while. How's business?"
"It's a drag, as usual..." Salvatore replies flatly. His expression is completely devoid of any emotion, and his eyes have large dark bags under them, as if he hasn't slept in weeks. Tetra raises her eyebrows slightly; it's an admittedly depressing sight.
"O-K, then," Link laughs nervously. "We're actually on our way up to the lighthouse."
"That's what everyone says... Who's the girl?" Salvatore asks.
"Oh, this is Avery," Link answers, glancing at the child on his shoulders.
"I meant the other girl."
Tetra freezes up; she sends an immediate glare Link's way, one that says something along the lines of "don't screw this up."
"Um... Zelda," Link replies, picking up on Tetra's warning message.
"That's an unusual name."
"It's a family name," Tetra offers as a way of explanation.
"Hn," Salvatore intones. "Well, I'd advise you'd best be careful, Miss Zelda." His gaze lowers. "They say pirates have landed here." Tetra turns her face away from him; though she appears expressionless, she's inwardly panicking, thinking perhaps he's recognized her.
"Well, we should be on our way," Link says quickly. "Come on... Zelda." Tetra hurries up the stairs at the side of the store with him, and are able to take a breath once they're outside again.
"He creeps the fu-" Tetra stops short, remembering Avery, and continues, "-fun out of me. I think he knows."
"I doubt he suspects anything," Link refutes. "He's just a little off."
"A little?"
Link ignores her and continues up the stairs with Avery. Tetra eventually goes after him, and they soon manage to reach the top of the lighthouse's tower. They then duck under the roof housing the beacon, happy to be out of the rain.
"So now what?" Tetra asks, dropping her hood and revealing that she hadn't tied her hair up in its usual bun that morning. The unusual sight catches Link's eye, and he stares at her with his mouth agape before quickly turning his head away with a blush. Tetra doesn't seem to notice, but Avery does, and she giggles.
"We watch, and we wait," Link replies shortly. He sets Avery down and jumps onto the wooden railing, comfortably situating himself before picking Avery back up and sitting her down on his lap. He then invites Tetra to sit beside him, which she does.
"Oh good, I like people watching," Tetra comments as she stabilizes her balance on the railing. Link casts a sideways glance at Tetra.
"I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not."
"Neither am I."
Link blinks; he's not sure how to respond to that. Then again, he's never sure how to respond to anything Tetra says. He looks down at Avery, who's been relatively quiet for a long while now.
"Just let us now, when you see your mom, OK?" he says.
"OK," Avery agrees.
Avery doesn't speak up, though. They sit there in silence for what seems like hours without end, watching the pouring rain and passersby on the streets. Occasionally, Link or Tetra will see a woman with brown hair and ask Avery if that's her mom, but the child always shakes her head no. Tetra soon begins to wonder if something has perhaps happened to the mother, or if she has for whatever reason decided to abandon her daughter. The thought of such dreary situations makes the pirate's heart ache in a way that hasn't happened for years, and she sincerely hopes this mother will turn up soon.
"Link..." Tetra begins aloud, but he hushes her.
"She's asleep," he explains apologetically afterward.
Tetra glances down and discovers he's right. Avery is practically curled up in his lap, like a cat, lightly snoozing.
"You know, you never cease to surprise me." Tetra slowly brings her eyes up to Link's, confused by his statement.
"Why?" she asks. He shrugs.
"I dunno," he begins, "you put yourself out there as this really tough girl who doesn't give a damn about anything, and yet you do everything you can to help a little girl find her mom. Why is that?" Tetra's breath hitches in her throat, and she looks back down at the sleeping form of Avery.
"She reminds me of myself," Tetra answers in a half-whisper.
"Yeah, I do kind of see the resemblance."
"I meant aside from the physical aspect," Tetra clarifies, and her voice lowers again. "I lost my mother when I was around her age." Link's head perks up as she says this. Tetra has never before spoken about the death of her parents, at least, not to him; he'd heard tidbits from the other pirates, but nothing truly significant.
Tetra continues, "I see her and I see myself 12 years ago: Lost. Hopeful. Unsure. Nayru, if this kid's mom doesn't show up at some point, I don't know if I'll be able to handle it. This whole thing's like a throw-back into the past, and I don't want her to cry like I did." She stops short, and her eyebrows furrow as she sends a suspicious glance Link's way. "Din-dammit, Link. If this is some sort of time warp you and the Wind Waker of yours has put us through, I'll be so pissed."
"No!" Link exclaims, waving his arms. "I can't control time. I'm the Hero of Winds, not Time, remember?"
"Just making sure you weren't channeling him or something," Tetra mutters. "I wouldn't be surprised if you could."
He laughs, even though it wasn't really that funny. He then pauses and takes a deep breath, growing serious once again.
"Tetra," he begins, tempted to reach out and take her hand, but fearing that she might throw him off the tower for it. "Don't worry. We'll find Avery's mom, I promise."
"That's a pretty big promise for someone who's never even met, much less seen this woman."
"Trust me, we'll find her at some point." He's now an inch closer to Tetra's face than he should be—enough to see the individual raindrops caught in her eyelashes—and either she hasn't noticed yet, or she doesn't care. He doesn't either; he just wants to enjoy this moment for all it's worth. "I never break my promises."
"I know."
Tetra has noticed, and she's helping to close the gap. It's kind of funny, because she's been expecting this sort of thing would happen eventually; she's smart, and she's done the math. She's the only female on board her ship, and he's the only male relatively close to her age. Yet, now that it actually is happening, she can't believe it. She's about to kiss the stupid boy from Outset Island. In the rain. How repulsively cliché.
"Look! That's her! That's her!" Avery suddenly cries aloud. Tetra and Link jerk away from each other, neither having realized the child had awakened.
"Where?" Link asks.
"There," Avery says, pointing. Down on the street below is a very worried-looking woman, completely soaked to the bone.
"Guess that's my cue." Link promptly removes Avery from his lap and turns her over to Tetra before recklessly sliding down the wooden paneling of the roof and hoping onto the ground. Tetra hears him grunt from the rough landing and she shakes her head; that's what he gets for being an idiot, she thinks. Link makes a quick recovery, however, and runs after the woman.
Tetra swings her leg back over the railing and sets Avery down.
"Momma's coming!" the girl exclaims gleefully.
"Yup." Tetra doesn't know what else to say, but she can't help but smile.
Within minutes, Link reappears at the top of the lighthouse tower, this time with Avery's mother in tow.
The reunion is a tearful, but happy one. The mother embraces her daughter warmly, burying her face into her blonde hair. Tetra looks on wistfully, but says nothing. Link notices her expression, and can empathize; he wanders back to her side, but not without giving her a friendly elbow in the ribs. Tetra rolls her eyes, and stifles a chuckle; Link never fails to cheer her up when she's in a pinch.
It's when the mother looks up to thank Link that she first notices Tetra, and her eyes widen. Tetra's blood runs cold, and she remembers that she's not wearing her hood anymore. And from the light in the mother's eyes, Tetra knows she's been recognized.
"Tetra. That's you name, isn't it?" The mother asks as she straightens up. Although she spoke evenly and without any sort of ill intent in her voice, she's put a protective arm around Avery's shoulder.
"... Yes," Tetra finally answers after a bit of hesitation. Link shifts around uneasily in his boots; he also realizes that Tetra's been recognized, which could spell out big trouble for them. He mentally starts mapping out an escape route for Tetra and himself, just in case. But, as it turns out, they don't end up needing one.
"... Thank you for helping my daughter."
Tetra is able to breathe, and she smiles again. Link casts her a sideways glance and smiles, too. He's still fighting the temptation to grab her hand, but reminds himself that this is the wrong time. Especially if she gets freaked out and decided to unsheathe that knife he knows she always keeps with her; the mother might not act so kindly then, and let it be known that Tetra's on the island.
"No problem," Tetra replies.
Avery waves goodbye and mother and daughter head back downstairs together. Tetra and Link linger behind for a bit longer, however, and Tetra returns to the railing, staring out at the sky above her. Link watches her carefully and is, as always, uncertain of what to say or do. He just can't figure Tetra out, and he's starting to accept that maybe it's supposed to be that way. Maybe she's supposed to be an unsolvable enigma.
Loved, but never understood.
Tetra bites down a grin; a bit of sunlight has started to poke through the clouds.
A/N: If you find the reference to a classic poem by a famous Victorian author in here, I'll seriously be your best friend. No, really, to the person who is the first to see it, I'll write you a one-shot or something.
I wanted this to be published on Mother's Day, but I'm a couple of hours late. Darn.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. --A group of homeless men came to the aid of a deputy struggling to make an arrest at a Florida McDonald's.
Surveillance video showed the deputy trying to subdue a man who tried to rob a McDonald's customer. At one point, the suspect's body slammed the deputy to the ground.
Although the McDonald's was full, no one came forward to help, so the three homeless men joined in.
"I think they are phenomenal," said Broward County Deputy Keven Meyers. "You know, they didn't have to get involved, and they did, and they made a great choice that day to assist and take a violent criminal off the streets."
That suspect is now in jail, but he didn't make it easy on deputies, even after he was in the patrol car. He reportedly tried to escape by kicking out the window.

Dunne Trying to Sneak Out Of Fire Disaster Management Mess
Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne and the National government have only themselves to blame for the shemozzle in the Christchurch fires, says New Zealand First.
"In eight years National has failed to turn Civil Defence into a professional, slick organisation with regional strength - but Mr Dunne now has the audacity to claim he has the solution," says New Zealand First Internal Affairs spokesperson Clayton Mitchell.
"Mr Dunne who has only just presented his Fire Service amalgamation legislation to parliament now wants to merge Civil Defence into the mix as well and have the new body lead in all disasters.
"So if he knew Civil Defence has been dogged with problems why wait eight years as Minister before any attempt to address it?
"Mr Dunne and National should take full responsibility, particularly as they made a big deal of moving civil defence to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet in in 2014," says Mr Mitchell.
"This was intended to improve emergency management arrangements – clearly Peter Dunne thinks do that this hasn't worked."
"Mr Dunne's new suggestion is poorly thought through. It makes Peter Dunne look like nothing more than a cowboy shooting from the hip.
"He knows the proposed amalgamation of urban and rural fire services has already been a resounding failure overseas.
"The flawed funding model of this new organisation could spell disaster for Civil Defence response teams on the ground," says Mr Mitchell.

Meet the Doctor
Robert L. Byrum, D.D.S.
I grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa and was influenced toward health care from two main sources. My father was a Pediatrician in the Quad Cities and practiced for 40 years. My childhood dentist was Bettendorf's first dentist - Dr. Hand. Both helped me decide toward a dental career. I decided at a young age to go into dentistry since I wanted to be in the healthcare area and that I was good with my hands in small detail work. I told Dr. Hand when I was 10 years old that someday I was going to take over his practice of dentistry. This in fact came to be true. When I got into the University of Iowa Dental College, I called Dr. Hand and told him I got in and he said that he would wait another 4 years to retire so that I could take over his practice. He was used to working alone and he did not wish to stay around for any period of time after I took over his practice, so I would come in on weekends during dental school and he would teach me things he thought I should know about running the office and maintaining equipment etcetera. His last day in practice was July 19, 1984 and my first day in practice was July 20, 1984. He did not tell his patients he was retiring since he did not want them to do anything special for him, so the transition was interesting to say the least! I did later, with Dr. Hand's blessing, put an announcement in the paper that I had taken over Dr. Hand's practice.
In my youth I was always doing things with my hands and taking things apart and putting them back together. In sixth grade I began cutting stones for jewelry-making and did that many years for fun, until after graduating from Wartburg College. I then learned the art of working with gold and silver to create jewelry combining that with my precious stone cutting abilities and started selling jewelry which I lived off of exclusively for some time. Early on in my jewelry business years, I met Dr. Carey in Iowa City via my jewelry business and he told me that he was looking for dental lab technician to work out of his office to do his crown and bridge work for his patients. I told him that I did not know how to do that to which he replied: "If you can do the quality jewelry you do, then you can do the dental lab work too". So he handed me a book on how to carve teeth and do crowns and bridge work and told me to learn it and hired me. I worked for Dr. Carey for 8 years doing his crown and bridge work as well as doing his denture relines and repairs. I did this work four years prior to dental school and four years during dental school. This work experience ended up helping me immensely in dental school! Doing the jewelry and dental lab work for five years time between college and dental school ended up helping me be able to take over Dr. Hand's dental practice since IF had I gone to dental school right out of college, Dr. Hand would not have been ready to retire upon my graduation, so my "prophesy" of taking over his dental practice came true partly due to "timing".
I enjoy learning new things in dentistry and love to keep up with the "cutting-edge" so-to-speak. I attend many continuing education seminars and have done so every year since I started practice. Of course all dentists are required to have 30 hours of continuing education within every two years of practice however, I usually end up with hundreds of hours in that same time period.
What makes dentistry special and exciting is not only learning new techniques and being on the "leading edge" but also the diversity of patients we are privileged to help. We see people of all ages from age 3 on up to the oldest I have treated of 101 years of age!
It is a joy to be able to not only do the basic dental work to help people get free of pain or prevent pain from dental decay, but also to actually transform the lives of some people who get work done that enables them to love their smile, look great and feel great! This has the power to transform their lives in that it increases their self confidence and thereby enables them to either get a job or do more sales in their jobs or be promoted to a new job, because of their newfound self confidence and appearance! That my friends is powerful and what a great feeling I get from helping them get there!
Dentistry has come a long way from its early days to modern dentistry today. I strive to make dental procedures painless and succeed. I like for my patients to know what we do and take any mystery out of it. I am always glad to answer any questions they may have. I like to save teeth whenever it is possible. I always give people straight forward information, and I subscribe to the philosophy of: "If it aint broke, don't fix it." I have been able to help people keep teeth and make them smile for about 30 years now, and I look forward to seeing more people to help.

Finance and politics have traditionally been male-dominated industries, but Stacey Hadash found her own place in both. Being fearless and forming relationships are critical for young people who want to pursue a career on Wall Street, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC) managing director who oversees banking in New York and Long Island.
Hadash was the first person in her family to attend college. She went to Smith College, a women's liberal arts school in Massachusetts, where she was encouraged to venture into industries lacking diversity and she learned how to become a leader.
"There's never a sense you couldn't do something because all leadership positions of the school are filled by women. I think it's not sometimes women think they can't do something, it's that they don't think of doing it," Hadash told Yahoo Finance editor-in-chief Andy Serwer in a talk hosted by Asian Cultural Center and PLC Ltd. Inc. in July.
Today, Hadash is actively engaged in diversity initiatives and cultivating women leaders in the business world, both at her company and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where she obtained an MBA degree. She thinks MBA schools still have a lot of work to do in attracting women as the gender parity in MBAs is much less balanced than in other higher education programs. Females account for only 37% of MBA students, according to the latest report from the Graduate Management Admission Council, which runs the GMAT business school entrance exam.
To land a job and advance in your career, Hadash said it's up to the applicant to tell a story in a way that shows they have some inherent qualities to succeed. Having worked in both the public and private sectors, in particular, her time in the 1992 Clinton campaign, Hadash learned the importance of communication and emphasizes its value in the business world. "Your boss can't read your mind. Tell stories about yourself, your accomplishments and what responsibilities you want to take."
Thinking back to her early days on Wall Street, Hadash wished she had been braver. She recalls being one of those young analysts who thought senior managers would be too busy to answer questions, but now she is impressed by high school interns who knock on her door and ask for time to meet.
"Be fearless about who you look to make connections with, or what you think you're capable of doing," said Hadash.

Laurente's win catapults Miami (Fla.) past No. 2 UNC in ACC semifinals
CARY, N.C. -- For the first time since 2009, Miami (Fla.) will be competing in the ACC championship game after upsetting top-seeded and No. 2-ranked North Carolina 4-3 at the Cary Tennis Center on Saturday.
"We played with such heart," Miami head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. "UNC pushes you to a different level physically and [Saturday] we responded. Our girls never quit. They believed for four and a half hours."
Freshman Kelsey Laurente, Miami's 91st-ranked singles player, broke a 3-3 score and sealed the gritty win for the Canes at No. 2 with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 win against the Tar Heels' 44th-ranked Zoe De Bruycker. The match was the last of three three-set singles bouts on the day.
It was the fourth three-set win on the year for Laurente and her third against a ranked opponent.
"This win was earned the hard way… Miami style," Yaroshuk-Tews said.
After the Canes earned the doubles point, the Tar Heels evened the score as Tessa Lyons took a 6-2, 6-2 win from Melissa Bolivar, snapping her singles win streak at 10.
The teams continued the back-and-forth battle on court No. 4 as Miami freshman Clementina Riobueno gave her team a 2-1 lead, dismantling UNC's 56th-ranked Caroline Price 6-4, 6-4. She improved her singles record to 22-3 in the spring.
UNC pulled even once again at two after Lauren McHale's 6-3, 6-4 win at No. 5 versus Monique Albuquerque.
Sophomore Lina Lileikite pulled off another upset, defeating 36th-ranked Whitney Kay 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 to give Miami a 3-2 lead in the match.
However, North Carolina pulled even again as seventh-ranked Gina Suarez-Malaguti won in three sets against UM's 60th-ranked freshman, Stephanie Wagner, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Two of three doubles matches went to a tie break, before the point was finally decided on court No. 2.
The No. 3 team of Wagner and Brittany Dubins has been victorious in each of their three matches together, including Saturday's 8-6 win against the UNC tandem of Lyons and Suarez-Malaguti.
The Tar Heels evened the doubles tally on court No. 1, completing the first match to be decided by tie break, narrowly escaping the UM team of Riobueno and Albuquerque 9-8 (4).
However, after coming from behind, Miami's Laurente and Bolivar forced their own tie break and then dominated, blanking Price and Kay 9-8 (0).
"We need to rest and not get too excited," Yaroshuk-Tews said. "[Sunday] is a new day with another tough opponent in front of us. We will be ready."

HDesign launches toilet paper replacement device
MISSOURI CITY, Texas — HDesign has introduced a toilet paper replacement device.
The EZ-I/O Changer uses the existing functionality of the typical toilet paper roller to its advantage. With the EZ-IO Changer, the toilet paper itself becomes the main object used to remove, replace, and install an empty (or full) roll of toilet paper; instead of holding onto the ends of the roller.

Study finds association between daily aspirin use and modestly lower cancer mortality
ATLANTA — A large new observational study published Friday found more evidence of an association between daily aspirin use and modestly lower cancer mortality, but suggested any reduction may be smaller than that observed in a recent analysis. The study appeared online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
A recent analysis pooling results from existing randomized trials of daily aspirin for prevention of vascular events found an estimated 37% reduction in cancer mortality among those using aspirin for five years or more. But uncertainty remains about how much daily aspirin use may lower cancer mortality, as the size of this pooled analysis was limited and two very large randomized trials of aspirin taken every other day found no effect on overall cancer mortality, the authors of the latest study reported.
For the current study, American Cancer Society researchers led by Eric Jacobs analyzed information from 100,139 predominantly elderly participants in the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort who reported aspirin use on questionnaires, did not have cancer at the start of the study and were followed for up to 11 years. They found daily aspirin use was associated with an estimated 16% lower overall risk of cancer mortality, both among people who reported taking aspirin daily for at least five years and among those who reported shorter term daily use. The lower overall cancer mortality was driven by about 40% lower mortality from cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., esophageal, stomach and colorectal cancer) and about 12% lower mortality from cancers outside the gastrointestinal tract.
The authors noted that their study was observational, not randomized, and therefore could have underestimated or overestimated potential effects on cancer mortality if participants who took aspirin daily had different underlying risk factors for fatal cancer than those who did not. However, the study's large size is a strength in determining how much daily aspirin use might lower cancer mortality.
"Expert committees that develop clinical guidelines will consider the totality of evidence about aspirin's risks and benefits when guidelines for aspirin use are next updated," Jacobs said. "Although recent evidence about aspirin use and cancer is encouraging, it is still premature to recommend people start taking aspirin specifically to prevent cancer. Even low-dose aspirin can substantially increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal bleeding. Decisions about aspirin use should be made by balancing the risks against the benefits in the context of each individual's medical history. Any decision about daily aspirin use should be made only in consultation with a healthcare professional."

Report: Walgreens campaign highlights company's innovative history
NEW YORK — A new Walgreens campaign to the tune of John Fogerty's "Down on the Corner" from GSD&M is hitting a 30-second primetime spot near you. The campaign highlights Walgreens' long history of innovation, "from inventing the first chocolate malt to creating a nonprofit pharmacy for our troops. … Walgreens has been innovating for more than 100 years, and we're just getting started."
"What we're trying to do is speak to the innovations that have been a part of the brand since Charles Walgreen started a company back in 1901," Nancy Ryan, SVP and group account director at the agency, told Marketing Daily in a report published on Saturday. "What we found is that Walgreens didn't get the credit for these innovations. When we took this work into testing, consumers were very interested in how Walgreens did these things."

The movie has already picked up a string of accolades and is nominated for eight Academy Awards at the upcoming Oscars in March (09), including Best Picture and Best Director.
Waltz, who is up for a Best Supporting Actor prize at the Oscars, has already picked up a London Critics' Circle Film Award for Actor of the Year for his role as Colonel Hans Landa in the 2009 movie.
But he's convinced Quentin Tarantino's critically-acclaimed film would never have happened if Pitt hadn't signed up, because Waltz believes the Fight Club star is responsible for making it such a success.
Yeap , that's right … Brad is the reason of attraction … you know it ! :DFeb 20, 10 at 4:53 PM
This just makes me respect Christoph Waltz even more. He is aware that it was Brad that made it all happen. I think he respects and likes Brad, and knows what he did to make the film a success, even though he is getting the awards attention (which he deserves as he was great!!). Thanks Mr. Waltz.Feb 20, 10 at 6:14 PM

Someone asked me recently….
"How did I become comfortable with sharing my son's disability?"
I smiled, as I replied that it wasn't easy and it was definitely a process. Before that, it was a struggle to share with people about my son's special needs.
In the beginning of Nate's life, I did not like talking about my son's rare congenital defect. It was something I refused to do it. If I did, I only shared with my immediate family and friends. I believed that keeping this information private, was for our protection. I wanted to shield us from the inquiries and opinions of others. I didn't want to be bombarded with a barrage of questions that people would expect me to answer. Also, I didn't want people to wonder or try to construct their own reasoning on how this could have occurred to Nate.
Yet, after a while, I began to feel that I no longer wanted to be closed about my life with Nate. I wanted to share, so I slowly began answering questions to those who asked.
Eventually, I became more comfortable with being transparent about my life and my child. There was a sense of ease, as I began to understand that sharing about Nate's life was not about Nate or about me. Instead, when I put aside my feelings, and I went beyond what I wanted to tell others, I was honoring God. I was bringing Him glory, when I allowed others to see His work within me.

Alexis "Lexi" Thompson (born February 10, 1995) is an American professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour. At age 12, she was the youngest golfer ever to qualify to play in the U.S. Women's Open. She turned professional in June 2010 at age 15. On September 18, 2011, Thompson set a new record as the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA tournament, at age 16 years, seven months, and eight days, when she won the Navistar LPGA Classic. Three months later she became the second youngest winner of a Ladies European Tour event, capturing the Dubai Ladies Masters by four strokes on December 17, 2011. She won her first major championship at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. Enjoy Lexi Thompson's best quotes below.
"You go through slumps in this game, and you just have to work through them. You're going to miss putts out on an LPGA tour and have bad rounds. You just have to think to yourself that you always have tomorrow, and you're lucky enough to be out here just playing golf for a living."
"I go to the movies, and I watch MTV and the Disney Channel. I admit I like 'Hannah Montana.'"
"I like upbeat songs, and I listen to a lot of Linkin Park and Green Day. I also like hip hop and R&B artists such as Drake and Rihanna."
"I met Taylor Lautner and Jonah Hill at the 'Today Show.' That was pretty cool."
"I really enjoy being with my fans. They offer great support and encouragement to me. I like signing autographs and posing for pictures."
"I started golfing at a young age, and growing up with two older brothers, it made me mature a lot younger."
"I'm not a huge shopper. I love looking good – obviously, on the golf course I like looking sharp, that's for sure. I'm just not into knowing brands."
"I've always used a mallet putter on tour. I get too much face rotation with a blade."
"My driving and irons are the best part of my game. Growing to be 5-foot-11 has certainly helped."
"I have always looked up to my brothers. They are a huge influence on me. We constantly text and Facebook each other to give each other support. And we all hang out at home when we are in town together."
"I love my sponsors. They make things so much fun for me. We do really fun and exciting things, so I always have a blast. It doesn't ever seem like work."
"I started with golf because I saw my brothers play, I was always watching them. It was my life. Growing up, we always played competitions like chipping, hitting."
"I wear pink on Saturdays for breast cancer, and I wear blue on Sundays. I'm superstitious. At the Evian tournament in 2010, in which I came in second, I wore baby blue on a Sunday. And ever since then, I've worn it every Sunday. Puma sponsors me, so I wear all their outfits in bright colors. I wear matching hair ribbons, too."
"I'm a big breakfast person: Eggs, bacon and yogurt is my go-to meal before a round. On the course, peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches are great for energy, but a protein bar works, too."
"I'm pretty much on all social media, but Instagram is the coolest, and I use it the most because I take a lot of pictures and I like to post them, but I link them all to each one."
"Since I've been home-schooled since sixth grade, I've practiced six to seven hours a day. I wake up, practice for three hours in the morning, eat lunch, and then go out and play eighteen or more holes."
"Sometimes, it just gets mentally tough, but at the end of the day, I'm playing golf for a living. And reaching out to a huge fan base and knowing people are following my progress and looking up to me means the world to me. So if all I have to do is some photo shoots and answer questions, that's nothing to me. That's part of my life."

Out of India showcases three of the most interesting contemporary choreographers to have emerged from India's
dance scene. These young artists' work reveals a striking perspective on life in modern India, a long way from either
classical dance or Bollywood.
The duet NH7 by Bangalore-born Deepak Kurki Shivaswamy is a political take on India's rapid urbanisation, and the impact it is having on individuals swept up in sudden change.
Hemabharathy Palani is a mesmerising dancer who successfully draws on her extensive technique to invent this idiosyncratic solo. In Trikonanga she takes apart the classical dance form Bharatanatyam, playing with its concept of bodily triangles in a myriad of ways.
Nerves, Surjit Nongmeikapam's piece for five men, is influenced by Indian folk dance, martial arts and more
contemporary styles. It is inspired by the corruption and suffering in Manipur, Surjit's home state, and features props,
projection, and an intense physicality.
